I recently watched a PBEM game in which the Japanese player does a shock attack amphibious assault on San Fernando on turn one of the game. He uses LCUs from the amphib force plus a paradrop. I understand paradrops are shock attacks but is there a way to have units attack either in deliberate mode ...

Got it, I think!. Will give it a try. Once again many thanks for the help. After playing Allies for several years I thought I was beginning to understand this game. Seems Japan a whole new set of interesting challenges!

Apologies guys but being a bit dumb on this one and English not my first language so would like to stretch your patience and test my understanding.

If I want to set up Japanese units as I prefer (so historical turn off) I should leave the two air groups in Saigon on night attack but be able to ...

Many thanks everyone

Sorry, may be a bit more explanation needed. When I start the Scenario 1 game and view the air groups in Saigon there are 4 or 5 Betty and Nell units assigned to Naval attack which results in them attacking the Prince of Wales TF if I leave them unchanged (don't change altitude, etc.). If I do ...

The TF containing Repulse and Prince of Wales off Mersing

I am in the process of trying to learn to play as Japan using Scenario 1, historical turn off. I have been testing various combinations of air attacks for turn 1 for Malaya and have noticed an odd pattern. If I make any changes to the air groups allocated by the Game to the TFZ attack, such as ...

Thanks so much. Changed back to Allied Computer before opening saved game and worked like a charm. Many thanks for prompt reply. Really appreciated

I have been playing as the Allies for last year or so and now want to change to Japan. However I have run in to a problem. It won't play as Japan.

Playing scenario 1 with latest official Beta patch.

Have set up the game as follows:

Many thanks to all for the feedback. It has cleared up a lot of questions I had. I will update with the most recent patch and consider the downloads in Kulls post and Any Mac's upgrade once I get my hands around this monstrous but amazing game.

I have been watching various PBEM and Let's Play games on YouTube during which references were made to Andy Mac variants and updates to enhance the performance of the AI. Some gamers claim the variants are already contained in the game, but others state they are not and need to be downloaded. After ...

Thanks for the prompt response folks. Paid the PP to buy out and loading on amphib TF.

Started game this morning and all good, so seems to have been a momentary glitch with my machine.

I am following Kull's spreadsheet and trying to load troops onto an amphibious TF (CL & AMC) at Auckland. The unit I want to load (Eng Coy.) is in combat mode. Select dock and load troops but unit selection screen is blank. No units are listed although there are units at the base. I have gone ...

Many thanks to all

Apologies if this has been queried on another thread but I am confused by calculation of the Aviation support at Pearl which is given as 300+118. As I understand it aviation support comes from Command units (50), Base Forces(100) and special aviation units. I see 150 total. Where are the rest coming ...

Having played several days of the WAR scenario on several occasions I notice the KG Scherff (150 Pz Brigade) movement mode changes. At times its foot and others times motorized. Considering its TOE and that of the Brigade surely all the KG's in 150 should be motorized?

I did thankfully. Many thanks for the feedback

Any idea where I can download the Kamikaze Bellum Pacifica Map? There does not appear to be a link on the forum referred to above

I have just purchased and installed the game together with patches 1126a and b and added the correct switch for my PC. I want to change the default map to Bellum Pacifica mod but all the Readme says is copy folder to Art folder which I have done. Nothings changed. How do I install the mod?

Good one! Thanks
